The Forsaken Hero

I closed my eyes and sighed, letting the needle slip through my fingers and clatter to the alley floor. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. There was always someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light. Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

Vague Dangers

Luke was the one who gave the circle their teleportation rings? Scarcely had the thought entered my mind, and then I swooned, suddenly feeling lightheaded. Had I been standing instead of riding Fable, I undoubtedly would have fallen. 

"N-no, that can't be…" I stammered, my voice breathless. "You don't think he..."

"Of course not; that's absurd," Gayron interrupted. His immediate dismissal cut through the irrational fear that gripped me. "Luke wants the utter destruction of the Circle even more than you do. It's why we attacked Brithlite first."

I let out a pent-up breath, pressing a hand to my chest to calm my racing heart. The relief was so intense that tears welled up in my eyes. But I'd always expected Luke to betray me eventually, hadn't I? Why was I so afraid of that possibility?
